Special Interests & Why I Love What I Do

I enjoy surgery because it’s a great way for me to blend my two professional interests; biomedical engineering and veterinary medicine. In particular, I enjoy the mechanics of orthopedic procedures. I also like intestinal procedures and neurologic cases.

Personal

I have three amazing young boys, and one amazing older boy to whom I am married, who all make my life interesting and worth living. We have a very tolerant cat named Crusher.

When I’m not working I want to be with my family. We enjoy being outdoors and especially have fun camping. If I do get time to myself I like to read and nap, but not at the same time.
